Representative Paray introduced the local bill and Representative Perez spoke in debate, describing the measure as “just halt[ing] ETJ expansion of Wake County for a period of 3 years” and asking members for their support. The House clerk opened the machine vote for second reading; the clerk recorded 79 affirmative and 38 negative votes. On third reading the bill passed by voice and was ordered sent to the Senate.

Supporters presented HB173 as a temporary pause to allow local review of territorial growth and planning.

The House committee substitute passed second reading on a recorded roll-call vote, 70 in favor and 47 opposed, and the bill passed third reading by voice and will be sent to the Senate.

Representative Reeder, sponsor of the bill, told colleagues the change would allow Pitt County to “join 53 other local educational agencies who have made their board of education's elections partisan” and argued that partisan labels “help provide additional information to voters to make a selection on the ballot.” Reeder noted the county’s nine-member board serves staggered four-year terms and said supporters included current board members, former candidates and constituents of both parties.

Opponents on the floor said the board itself had not been consulted and worried the change would politicize local school governance. Representative Brown read a letter from the Pitt County Board of Education chair, saying in part, “As chairman of the Board of Education for Pitt County Schools, I am appalled of, this bill being introduced … the board was never contacted as a whole and did not know of the bill until it was made known after it had been filed.” Brown said a majority of the board preferred to remain nonpartisan and asked members not to support the bill.

Other speakers raised broader concerns about partisan pressure on local officials. Representative Jones said, “We could make everything political, every darn thing,” and warned that making more offices partisan risks discouraging people from serving specifically to avoid party politics. Representative Reeves said making boards partisan can subject members to party hierarchy and primary challenges, reducing space for public servants who do not want partisan pressures.

Representative Ball raised a practical point about unaffiliated voters, asking whether unaffiliated voters would be excluded from serving; she said an unaffiliated voter “cannot run for the Board of Education” under the proposed change and questioned whether that was desirable.

The House committee substitute to House Bill 302 passed second reading 70-47 (recorded) and was ordered read a third time; on the third reading the bill passed by voice and was sent to the Senate.","House Bill 302, allowing Pitt County Board of Education elections to be partisan, passed the House after sustained debate about local input and politicization of school boards.

The measure passed on a recorded vote, 98 in favor and 17 opposed.

Supporters said the changes are intended to streamline daily business and provide predictable scheduling. House Majority Leader and Rules sponsor Representative Bell summarized the package on the floor, saying the process produced “a good discussion” and outlining changes meant to reduce end-of-day floor statements and clarify voting procedures.

Key changes in the adopted rules include: making the prayer and pledge a permanent part of formal voting sessions; limiting in-session personal-privilege remarks to one minute on matters of immediate house-wide importance; creating an out-of-session option for members to schedule up to 10 minutes for representative statements; clarifying that the majority or chair may authorize written procedures for late vote changes; adding the minority leader as an ex officio member of standing committees; and changing the bill-filing deadline language and some actuarial-report procedures.

Floor debate centered on transparency and the handling of conference reports and veto-override timing. Representative Butler proposed an amendment requiring 24 hours’ written notice for any veto override vote; that Butler amendment failed on a recorded vote, 47 in favor and 69 opposed. Representative Harrison offered an amendment to add procedural safeguards and waiting time for consideration of conference reports; that amendment failed 50-65. Representative Morey offered two amendments related to committee assignments and removing the practice of adding noncommittee “floaters” to committee votes; both of those amendments also failed on recorded votes.

Representative Butler argued the chamber should require notice for veto overrides, saying the current practice “undermines transparency” and comparing it to a “sword of Damocles” hanging over members. Representative Bell and other supporters of the adopted rules said scheduling improvements and a published multi-month calendar provide notice and that additional notice requirements were unnecessary given the new procedures.

After adoption the resolution was ordered printed. The House proceeded to other calendar business and announced committee meeting times for the following day.","The North Carolina House adopted House Resolution 563, establishing new permanent chamber rules after hours of floor debate and several failed amendments.
